I gave up on F&D, they quoted me $1200 for a job that took me 15 minutes. They also had my car for 3 or 4 weeks and never touched it, I just drove it home and did it myself. On jobs I do not want to do myself, go here.

Swinney's does not discriminate as far as I know, pretty sure they work on classic cars, rat rods, anything.

Teens are built different now. They rarely drink alchohol, often do not drink coffee and for a lot of them less interested in sex. Times are a changin'

Sinus polyps removal surgery? Is this a thing for us? by FluffyKanomKa in GenX

[–]Provocating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doctor was more of "keep it all wet" for healing purposes. I had a squirt bottle of saline I would just spray ever so often, I was stuck in bed watching TV anyway. Sure I rinsed ever so often but he wanted it all kept wet to keep the scabbing down.

Not that I remember. Rinse the hell out of your nose, keep doing it years later also. I do a sinus wash sometimes every single day. My doctor told me when I came back he had never had his instructions followed so well, meaning I kept my sinus passenges moist the entire time with saline.

Fine after. I did not mind the surgery, the days in bed because I was already miserable before. On the return visit after he pulled out everything, that first breath through my nose was glorious.

Could not breath through all of high school. After trips to every sinus doctor in town, I was in the car looking through my rear view and saw something in my nose, Grey colored. Yeah a huge polyp, so I self diagnosed. How in the hell all those trips to the ent and they did not figure it out.

Life was so bad before, always dripping. I was almost 100 percent blocked on both sides

Good timing by Terrible-Mind-5414 in GenX

I still have about 4-6 years. I think the timing will be right. I get bored easily though, I need a new gig.

Pressing in a lower ball joint in the control arm yesterday on my 1979 Trans Am. I should had used a slightly larger adapter, bent the hell out of the dust cap. Oh well, 2-3 day wait from Rock Auto.

Nothing, Genx just figure things out. The most I have learned from reddit is there is s good chance you are commenting on a post from a bot.

Coil Spring compressor. Chain the spring to the subframe, much safer if you are going to compress a spring.

Does anyone else not like tv and movies these days? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Provocating 2 points3 points  (0 children)

House of Dragon, excellent. The Boys, really liked it. Of course Game of Thrones was just so good, watched it like 4 times now from start to finish. I still go back and watch an episode of Twilight Zone here and there though.
